Kothimbir Vadi (Cilantro Cakes)

Kothimbir Vadi (Cilantro Cakes) is yet
another all time favourite tea time snack of Maharashtrians. Traditionally,
this dish is prepared by steaming the batter. However, here I am following a different
method altogether. I like the vadis made by this method better than the
traditional method.

Now grease a plate (with a good height) with oil. Put the mixture on the plate and spread it evenly to form layer of approx 1 and half inches. Set it aside for cooling for an hour. After cooling, cut it into square shapes or shape of your choice.

Then heat oil on medium flame. Deep fry the cakes on medium flame till it is golden brown in colour. Serve hot with green chutney and tomato ketchup.

Notes:

1. To ensure that your mixture has thickened to the right consistency, after the Gram flour mixture thickens, take a small quantity of the mixture in a spoon and allow it to cool. Observe if the mixture easily leaves the spoon after cooling. This shows that the batter can be transferred to the plate.

Reg. the storage problem, its easy to solve but involves some steps. I will try to tell you as simple as I can. 1.Create one more new gmail id.2.Now go to your old blogger id and follow these steps. blogger-->settings-->permissions-->add authorType your new gmail id and send the request.3.Log out from your current blogger/gmail id and log-in to the new gmail id. You would have got the invite from the blogger in your in-box.Open that mail and click the corresponding link. It will take you to your blogger account, update your profile informations and click "proceed to the blog" button. Now you can create new posts and upload photos with your new gmail/blogger account. :)~~~~

After adding a new author, go to the old blogger account, blogger-->settings-->permissions--> and you will see a check box near to your new id. It has two options "Author / Admin". Select the Admin-against to your new blogger/gmail id and save the settings. Releasing admin power to your new id will give access to edit/delete the posts you have written with the old id as well.

I am CA and CS by profession but my real interest is in cooking. I sometimes feel like switching careers (I think I will end up doing that.. :) )
I regularly research about recipes on the Net and newspapers. I also watch lot of cookery shows for inspiration.

Welcome to the World of Traditional Maharashtrian Cuisine

India is a country with diverse traditions, culture and religions. This diversity is also found in our food. Each state has its unique and special food items. Going forward, our food choices are not just restricted to India. We have gone global when it comes to food as well!

Today, we start our day South Indian breakfast, say Idli Sambar or Upma, we then go on North Indian lunch consisting of Chole Bature, Paneer, Rajma, Pulao. We prefer Italian Pizza, Garlic bread or Pasta for evening snacks. However, while returning home, we still have the urge of eating our traditional home made food for dinner.

This blog features a collection of traditional Maharashtrian recipes. However this does not mean that I dont like non-maharashtrian cuisine. You will also find some new and innovative experimental recipes in this blog.

People feel that traditional recipes are difficult to cook. But trust me, the traditional recipes are not just simple to cook but have their own charm. Being a hardcore vegetarian, you will find only vegetarian recipes on this blog.
